I guess this is the sort of thing you just have to be a part of, hmm? Aemon Send a noteboard - 16/12/2009 06:08:45 AM
I'm afraid since it's late, I'm going to have to break my usual "no short answers" rule.

1. How often do you visit Read And Find Out?


At least a dozen times per day. It's on my internet rounds. I'm a doctor, you see. A doctor of internetology.

1.a) Is visit the wrong word, perhaps? Is the correct question "How long have you lived at Read And Find Out?"


No. This was appropriate for wotmania for a pretty good stretch of time, but the community isn't what it once was. I'm here and I enjoy it, but it's not really the internet home for me that it once was.

2. Did you migrate here from the Homeland?


That I did! Third username here, I think. After Ben and Jens. :P

3. Which Messageboards do you frequent?


Games, CMB, and Team, every visit. Sci fi and Movies once or twice a day.

4. Did you take part in the inaugural Book Club on the Sci-Fi & Fantasy board?


No I did not.

4.a) Do you plan to take part in January's Book Clubs?


No I will not.

4.b) Did you vote for the Book Club choices?


Afraid not. In my defense, I've had exams recently, and haven't had much excess time.

5. Have you read The Gathering Storm?


Almost finished listening to it via audiobook.

5.a) If you answered Yes to 5., have you joined discussions on the Wheel of Time Messageboard?


I've read a few, but not contributed anything. I still really enjoy WoT (though it's no longer cool to admit that), I'm just intimidated by everyone on that board. They know far more than they should about WoT. ;)

5.b) Would you enter a competition on the WoT Messageboard to win a free copy of The Gathering Storm?


Depends on what it was. I'm vaguely interested, though I'd probably donate my copy, since I already own the hardcover and the *cough*stolen*cough* audiobook.

6. What is your favourite television show?


Probably Chuck, right now. Can't wait for the new episodes.

6.a) What is your favourite film?


I love the Lord of the Rings movies. I can't really decide which one is my favorite.

6.b) Have you made any posts on the TV & Movies Messageboard?


Sure have! I'm not as active there as some other boards, but I chime in pretty regularly.

7. Do you play any console games?


Sure do. I've been on a PC kick lately, but I've found time for some Gears 2, and some older PS2 games.

7.a) What is your favourite board game?


Hm, I'm not a huge board games person, but like most of us on this site, I have a pretty large vocabulary. As such, I'm fond of scrabble. :D

7.b) What is your favourite card game?


Again, not really a card games person either. I DO have the original Munchkin starter set though, which has provided a few hilarious good times.

7.c) Have you ever joined a discussion on the Games Messageboard?

Yes, yes I have. ;)

8. Have you ever played Dungeons & Dragons or another RPG?


No.

8.a) Go on, tell the truth. Have you?


No I really haven't. I've been semi-interested from time to time, though. Sophomore year roommates played a lot, and I was invited to play with them a few times. Never did for various reasons (I was busy, and they were pretty hardcore players), but if I had some cool friends who played these days, I'd probably try it.

8.b) Have you joined any of the games on the RPG Messageboard?


Nope.

8.c) Did you even know we had one of those?


That I did. It's not a place I visit, but I do check it every month or so, just to have a vague idea what's going on. And because that's roughly how often it updates. :P

9. What is your favourite Category on the Community Messageboard?


Category? Whew, I don't know. I more or less ignore most of them, because as an obsessive internet news reader, it's very rare that something gets posted here before I've seen it elsewhere. So I guess I like RAFO stuff, miscellaneous, etc. The sort that deal with people, not current events.

9.a) Would you join in with a ROscars event?


I might, if not too busy. I remember being nominated one year back at the old place, but I never won anything. Maybe I'd campaign. :P

9.b) Would you like me to explain what "ROscars" might be?


Planning isn't a strong point of mine. Particularly not at one in the morning.

9.c) Is RAFOscars a better name?


Yes, but you need a change in capitalization. RAFoscars will make people pronounce it "rayf-oscars" instead of "rayfo-scars." Which makes a lot more sense. :P

10. Do you know who the Team members are?


I surely do. I'm not sure I could name them all right off, but given a list, I could pick out even the obscure ones.

10.a) Do you wish you could post on the Team Messageboard?


I'm one of the privileged few.

...</sarcasm>

10.b) Would you believe us if we told you it's really quite boring? (Truly.)


Truly, I would. ;)

10.c) Why has our illustrious leader, Sir Benjamin Drinkalot, not put up information about himself on the Meet the Team page?


Not knowing him personally, I couldn't say. I'd guess that either he's busy, or he spends all the time he has for this site coding new features. He HAS made some good progress on the bug list, which is nice.

11. Would you come along to a RAFO Gathering?


Yes if it were within an hour's driving distance, and it was held somewhere relatively fun. A bowling alley, or something. I mean I like you all, but the wotmania gatherings I saw pictures of all seemed to consist of 30-somethings drinking at some random person's house. :P No thanks to that.

12. Do you know how to change your colour scheme?


Yes, thank goodness. Seriously, this site is great, but Ben was smoking something funny when he made green the default color. It's quite literally heinous to look at. Black is my color of choice.

12.a) Did you know we had colour schemes?


Yarse.

13. Do you know how to change the quote style so every paragraph is quoted separately?


Mmm-hmm. I even remember to click it before I start writing the post, nowadays! Though rarely before I finish writing the subject line. D'oh.

13.a) Don't you think that's jolly useful for surveys?


BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLS. No joke, I forgot till this question. SIGH. cutpastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepastepaste

13.b) Don't change it now because if you do you'll lose all of your answers. ;)


Manually changing it. WHY was the last question not the first? :P

14. What is your favourite Donate! message?


I don't remember. There were a couple I found funny though.

15. Have you submitted any Quote of the Moment suggestions?


Yeah, one games quote. I haven't checked lately, but I don't think it was accepted. How ridiculous is that? The games admin can't even think of decent quote.

16. Do you read instructions at the top of pages or do you just do what you went to that page to do?


What? Pages have instructions?

16.a) Have you read through the Bugs & Suggestions page?


Regularly. I even tag my own submissions with a (Aemon) or something at the end, so I can quickly check for responses on them. I'm a programmer by trade (though not a web programmer) so I fancy my bug reports as more helpful than those of others. NO ONE RUIN MY FANTASY.

16.b) Have you posted any Bugs or Suggestions?


Guess I should read ahead before answering.

16.c) If so, did you check first whether it had already been posted?


Yes.

17. Do you keep an eye on the News sections on the Homepage?


Lord no. I never go to the homepage. Primarily because the four month old "GRAND OPENING" sign bugs me. :P
